âPatriarch, even though I didnât dare to get too close, I heard it very clearly. They just got to know each other. Then, Miss Leng said that our Wen family is very rich. If they cure us, get them to charge us more,â the subordinate said with certainty. Because of the angle and Leng Ruoxueâs back was facing him at that time, he didnât see Leng Ruoxue being taken advantage of.
Charge them more? The corner of the Wen Family Patriarchâs mouth twitched and cold sweat flowed down his forehead. Did Leng Ruoxue have a grudge against the Wen Family? She actually encouraged them to collect more money. She was really too evil!
âWhat is a little more money if they can really cure our poison!â The Sixth Elder reminded the Patriarch seeing his expression a little strange. The most important thing now was the poison in their bodies. Money was just a worldly possession. If they died because of this unknown poison, who knew who would benefit from the Wen familyâs money?
The words of the Sixth Elder made sense, therefore the Patriarch directly instructed the head butler who had just entered the main hall, âHead butler, go and inform Ersha that we agree to let him try.â
âYes, Master.â The Head butler took his orders and turned away again.
Ye Chen and Zheng Enâs residence.
At the moment, they were in the room, sitting across from each other.
âYou got what you wanted, Ersha.â Ye Chen chuckled. The head butler had come to inform them that the Wen family was willing to let them try.
âHehe! Iâll perform well.â Zheng En smiled evilly. As long as he thought about how the Head Butlerâs expression was as if he had seen a ghost when he saw him take out the list of medicinal herbs he needed, he wanted to laugh. How dare they capture his Miss? If he didnât make them bleed, it would be difficult to appease the hatred in his heart! Hmph! Who asked them to be unable to defeat the Wen family now? Therefore, he could only use other methods!
As the two of them chatted, the Wen familyâs head butler arrived again.
âExcellency Ersha, Iâve brought all the herbs you need.â The Wen familyâs butler handed over a storage ring with a pained expression.
Sigh! This was all money! Even though he suspected there was no need for so many medicinal herbs to refine a pill! However, he did not dare to ask. If he angered the alchemist, it would cost him his life. Moreover, no one in the Divine Continent was willing to accept the detoxification mission issued by the Wen family except for this Zheng Ersha.
âHehe! Head Butler is really efficient. Actually, I donât know if these herbs are enough. I do need some more precious herbs. I hope you can help me find them.â After saying that, Zheng En took out a piece of paper from his ring and handed it to the Head Butler.
âSome⦠some more!â The Head Butler reluctantly took the piece of paper from Zheng En. He wanted to cry. Boohoo⦠this person didnât really think they were fools!
âOf course. Because Iâve never seen this poison before, I need to test many herbs. Head Butler, youâd better be mentally prepared. If these herbs arenât enough, Iâll have to ask you for more! Oh! Youâd better tell your family head to prepare a few more portions of the herbs I asked for in advance. Otherwise, wonât you be the ones who suffer?â Zheng En reminded very kindly, his expression very sincere.
âOkay, okay. Iâll let the head of the family know.â With that, the butler left dejectedly with the list of precious herbs.
âHehe! The Wen family indeed has a lot of good stuff!â Zheng En glanced at the medicinal herbs in the ring, his ugly face almost blooming with joy.
âDonât laugh, Ersha. Itâs creepy,â Ye Chen said helplessly.
âOh, oh!â Zheng En quickly nodded. His current appearance was quite scary when he smiled.
âHow do you plan to embezzle these medicinal herbs from the Wen family?â Ye Chen asked curiously in a low voice. Zheng En had asked the Wen family for so many medicinal herbs. He did not believe that Zheng En would use them all. However, if they were all used up, there had to be a good reason! After all, the Wen family was not stupid.
âYouâll know when the time comes.â Zheng En smiled mysteriously.
âThen I wish you success first. At that time, someone might ask to watch you refine pills. You have to be mentally prepared,â Yechen reminded him.
âDonât worry, Iâm already prepared.â Zheng En was full of confidence, not worried that the Wen family would make such a request.
The next day.
The Wen Familyâs butler came early.
âSir Silly, here are the precious herbs you need. Uh! When will you start refining pills?â The Head Butler handed over a storage ring. Even though his heart was bleeding, he still asked with a smile.
âSince Iâve prepared all the herbs I need, I can start refining pills at any time!â Zheng En said readily.
âExcellency Ersha, um⦠the elders are all very interested in your alchemy. I wonder if we can be present to watch?â The butler pretended to be in a difficult position, his face filled with anticipation.
âOf course! I donât carry people when I refine pills.â Zheng En replied readily. Hehe! He had indeed brought it up. Actually, he was really afraid that the Wen family wouldnât ask to see him refine pills! This way, even if he used up all his medicinal herbs, the Wen family probably wouldnât say anything.
âThank you, Excellency Ersha.â The Head Butler heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he knew that many alchemists did not like to be disturbed when refining pills. Therefore, when he came, he did not have much hope for this request of his. Well! He did not expect Excellency Ersha to be quite easy to talk to. This was much better than many arrogant alchemists.
âHead butler, I can refine pills for your Wen family because of ape feces, so thereâs no need to be so polite. By the way, Iâm going to start refining soon. Get all the elders who want to see it to come!â Zheng En reminded.
âAll right, Iâll let them know,â the Head butler said quickly, and left.
Not long after, the Head butler led a group of elders to Zheng Enâs residence.
In the room, Zheng En looked at the elders in front of him and said enthusiastically, âEveryone, sit anywhere you want. Donât stand on ceremony!â
âNo, no. Donât worry, Excellency Ersha. We wonât disturb you while you refine pills,â an elder said. He looked polite and terrified, as if they were the guests.
